Modern String MoneyRefreshLocale

MoneyRefreshLocale

Rereads the locale's money settings after the user changes them.

Syntax

MoneyRefreshLocale( )

Notes

• The settings are read once, lazily, into a snapshot, because setlocale is process-global and GetLocaleInfoEx is comparatively slow. This is how you ask for a fresh read.
• NOT thread-safe against a concurrent format: it rewrites the snapshot another thread may be reading. A lock on every ToString would cost more than the feature is worth.
• The snapshot is a dim shared in std/money, and a module exists once per program, so there is one snapshot and this refreshes it for every caller.

Examples

'' the user changed their Region settings while the program was running
MoneyRefreshLocale( )
RepaintEveryAmount( )
